WOW!
I wonder who said it first....
When and why and how.
Who first reacted to surprise
By letting out a 'Wow!'
The people who were with them
Must have done a double-take!
They must have turned with open mouths
And said 'For goodness sake!'
There has to have been a first time,
There is for every sound.
People said 'Gosh!' before the time
That little old 'Wow!' came round.
What will it be next time?
Buzz-words rule our lives.
Make sure you're ready for it
When the next buzz-word arrives.

For Three Word Wednesday
(Who asks us to use the words in blue)
REALITY CHECK
We were walking past a dress shop;
Ann was hanging on my arm.
I noticed a model in the window
And I thought 'What looks! What charm!'
She was tall and she was willowy
And, again, I glanced.
Her face was really lovely!
I was utterly entranced.
And there was Ann, my girl-friend,
Looking most unglamorous!
How had I ever fallen for her?
How had I felt amorous?
Her hair was straight and mousy brown,
Her dress showed no sign of fashion.
How had I ever pursued her
How had a felt such passion?
Then I focused on the pair of eyes
Of the model........a vacant stare,
For all the brilliant figure
And the thick and lustrous hair.
Then I looked down at my little Ann
And smiled into her eyes,
Which were warm and brown and loving.
And I knew I'd won the prize.
